Boo! Samhainophobia is an intense and
persistent fear of Halloween, and it can cause panic attacks for
people who suffer from it. The word is derived from the old Celtic
festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the Celtic year. They
believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to the Earth on this
day. Other Halloween related fears are wiccaphobia, fear of witches:
phasmophobia, fear of ghosts; and coimetrophobia, fear of
cemeteries.
